You make me happy...when skies are gray...

via apartmenttherapy.com

You know, I have to permanently strike from my vocab the words "I will never do...."because 1. I used to swear I would never do pink and now I love it and2. that I would always be loyal to and never sick of red and now it makes me wanna barf and3. that I would always hate gray and now I'm obsessed.

Cause those aren't such tasty words and I've been eating a lot of them lately. I am crazy in love with gray.Another thing I'm crazy in love with is the website pintrest. You have to be 'invited' to join( which makes me special!!! HA HA) but you can type in things like 'kick ass dining room' and you will actually get 1000s of photos to thumb through. (Relevancy google, that's all we ask!!!)But the downside is, original sources are iffy. Who knows who designed or photographed most of this stuff? Another downside to pintrest is the lack of sleep I've been experiencing since being accepted into this secret inner world of people who like to collect photographs of cool looking stuff.

So if you want to know my simple rules for using gray here they are:1. For the love of Mike, add a dash of something warm or else you will be constantly looking for your sweater.

7. Anchor it with a dark floor.8. Choose carefully. Gray is one of those colors that can be pinkish, purplish, greenish....make use of Sherwin Williams AWESOME color to go program and try out a few 5 dollar sample quarts before you commit.For more help, look to House Beautiful and their ongoing commitment to great color by clicking here.
